Chapter 148: Glorious Death(1/2)
After a moment of pause, Fan Yi continued to arrange: "Our army is mainly composed of the following troops of the Right Rule (right wing attack square formation), and then add the new army's family armed forces. Well, plus the troops of Zheng State, as the second attack wave - the Youju army does not need to wait for the result of the pioneer army. You will advance directly after arriving in the array. If Zhao Wu's upper army attacks smoothly, you will connect to Zhao Wu's attack and continue to attack his attack point. If Zhao Wu's upper army is in a stalemate, you will continue to advance. After entering the right wing battlefield of the Qinglin, regardless of the result of the frontal attack, please immediately launch an attack on the flank.
As for our army, the coalition forces of all countries are responsible for the responsibility of the coalition forces of various countries. Your attack happened to be in the follow-up of Zhao Wuzi. We do not have high expectations for you. We only require you to continue to maintain pressure on the Qin army and wait for us to organize the team. No matter what the results are, you have completed the task.
It’s the turn of the central army. After Zhao Wu retreats, our central army will follow Zhao Wu’s attack channel..."
Deputy Commander Fan Yi was on the map to guide the country, and the Left Historian (the official recorded by the chief of the army) in the lower army responded in a panic: "Marson, it's not good, the entire army of the lower army is set off and ready to cross the river and return home."
As soon as this sentence was expressed, the prime minister of Jin and the kings of various countries were shocked.
The Jin army has always been known for its strict discipline. Seeing that the war is approaching, the combat layout is being discussed here. One of the four reorganized troops of Jin State has actually run away?
Fan Yi jumped up embarrassedly and asked, "Where is Wei Jiang? As a subordinate of the army, why doesn't he stop the army from retreating?"
Zuo Shi replied: "He followed him, too."
Fan Yi was furious: "Why don't you stop it? Did you get a salary for free when you hold this official position?"
Zuo Shi replied: "I stopped him. I stopped Matou and asked Wei Jiang: 'Don't we wait for the orders of Zhongxing Bo (marshal Xun Yan)?' Wei Jiang's attitude was quite firm. He replied: 'Zhongxing Bo once ordered me to obey my superiors. Luan Gu is my direct superior. I followed Luan Gu, that is, I obeyed Zhongxing Bo's orders."
It was awkward, and the atmosphere in the camp was very awkward.
Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Xun Yan stood up, as the commander of the entire army, he took on this responsibility and confessed regretfully: "It is really my responsibility to retreat privately in the army. I issued such a self-righteous order (only the leader of the horse) to make others uncomfortable. This is a mistake as the commander. I did something wrong and regret it now. Now I have left more people, which can only increase the number of people captured by the Qin army.
I ordered: Go forward and serve as the rear guard of the entire army to protect the entire army from retreating smoothly... Well, let's come to this war. After returning to China, I will admit my mistakes to the Lord and assume the responsibility for this defeat."
After Xun Yan said that, he walked into the tent without saying a word.
Xun Yan could clearly find reasons to shirke responsibility - after the Spring and Autumn Period, people often think that "the fault with reason is not the fault", so it is "explainable". As long as you have reasons, then even if "the sin is unforgivable", everyone will forgive your "explainable"... Of course, there is no reason you can create (made up) reasons. For example, if you kill an individual, it can be said that it is because of "hide and seek" and "drinking cold water". When you sew someone's anus during the operation, it is because of "free" "kindness". In this way, it is "explainable".
But Xun Yan did not shirk it.
This is the Spring and Autumn Period. The feudal Spring and Autumn Period attached great importance to power and responsibility. The people in the Spring and Autumn Period were almost paranoid about maintaining rules, and the people of Jin Dynasty had almost harsh requirements for discipline.
After the Jin army made such a horrific retreat operation before the war, Xun Yan's courageous attitude showed that Jin was still the overlord and was willing to be responsible for failure rather than seeking (creating) irresponsible excuses.
This shows that Jin State is still saved!
The commanders of the countries looked at each other, and the commander of the Lu army, Sun Bao, sighed and said to himself: "It's really a 'delayed (delayed) battle'."
Relocation means being unable to make up your mind and not clear about the strategic purpose; delay means delaying the fighter jet.
This is indeed a "delay battle".
The Qin army has always been fierce and likes to kill prisoners in exchange for military merits, so they do not leave prisoners in every battle, and the defeated ones are massacred. Therefore, facing such fierce enemies as the Qin army, the coalition forces of various countries have not had a strong desire to fight when crossing the river. Under this situation, another troublemaker came out to make a bad thing, and this troublemaker was not severely punished. As a result, the morale of the millions of troops was disintegrated.
Xun Yan saw this situation and he decisively assumed the responsibility of defeat and avoided greater losses from Jin State. Xun Yan did this out of feudal consciousness. As a feudal man, he held the power to command the entire army and had to bear the responsibility brought by power, and could not shirk or make excuses... However, this defeat was neither Xun Yan's responsibility nor the responsibility of the troublemaker Luan Gun.
"The king is too anxious - after all, he is young and energetic." Qi Ce sighed while commanding the army to go out of the camp to form an array.
The Han family and the Zhao family are now in the same army, and their retainers are completely merged. Tian Su stays in the country to handle the administrative affairs of the Zhao family and the Han family. Qi Ce goes to war with the army to handle the military affairs of the Han family and the Zhao family.
Han Qi's chariot stood side by side with Zhao Wu, and the two's military flags were also close together - among the Dukes and Ministers of Jin, such a close family relationship was unique.
Han Qi is now like Zhao Wu, and he is a big shopkeeper. He leisurely looked at Qi Ce commanding the army - the latter is now Zhao Wu's Che You. At the same time, he agreed with a relaxed mood: "It is true that the emperor is anxious. We promised the people not to raise troops for three years, but we violated our promise; after we dominated last year, we promised that the nations would never send troops for two years - we took action the next year.
When the nations crossed the river, we should have seen the clues in this war. Even without Luan Gun's trouble, our army's combat awareness was not strong. This time, the soldiers came to participate in the parade, but they would not have thought that there would be a cruel battle behind. The weapons and armor of the parade were just beautiful, and we should not have fought this battle.
If I were asked to make a new choice, I would announce the war plan for next year after the military parade, so that everyone would prepare. After our Jin State position was adjusted, there would be a transition period. After everyone was familiar with each other's new positions, at least Luan Gu would not roar in the military camp like today, and we have also fulfilled our commitment to the nations for two years not to launch troops. How great is it?! In just one year, why can't we bear it..."
Zhao Wu interrupted: "Brother Qi, we just need to perform our duties and don't worry too much about other matters."
"Huh—?" Qi Ce screamed: "Why are there anyone charging? Who dares to charge without obeying the order?"
When Zhao Wu and Han Qi heard Qi Ce's scream, they rolled off the chariot in a hurry and rushed to climb up the nest car on the high ground.
"It's Luan Ge's younger brother Luan Zhen..." Han Qi exclaimed: "Has the army retreated? Why are these two people still here? They are crazy, two soldiers, one hundred and fifty, and one hundred and fifty servants dare to rush to the same city?"
"Who is next to you?" Zhao Wu asked hurriedly.
Han Qi carefully distinguished: "It's Fan Yang, the son of Fan Yi - a bad thing. Fan Yang has the same temper as Luan Gu, and he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos."
Zhao Wu hurriedly asked his side: "Who gave the charge order?"
Qi Ce climbed up with breath and replied: "Our army charge command is commanded by a military horn, and the lower army still uses drum sounds. Our military horn cannot command the lower army. Besides, I can guarantee that we have never used the military horn."
Luan Zhen was an extremely upright person. During the Yanling War, he served as Duke Li's imperial army and scolded his father by name. Marshal Luan Shu should not interfere in his performance of his duties, but should focus on fulfilling his duties.
"What a pity, an upright person." Zhao Wu heard that it was not his responsibility, so he breathed a sigh of relief on the nest car.
The Qin army opposite was arrows like rain, Luan Jie howled, and used his shield to push the rain of arrows, urging his servants to move forward - he was seeking death.
At the same time, Fan Yang walked slowly on another chariot.
The Qin army's bows and arrows were very fierce. Two lonely soldiers rushed forward bravely. Luanzhen was already full of arrow rods. His car was killed in the right hand. Yu Rong was already lying on the war horse, and his life and death were unknown. Luanzhen held a shield with one hand and waved his sword with the other... At this time, there were less than ten warriors around him, but he still struggled to move forward.
Fan Yang, who was behind, walked slowly and slowly, with fifty warriors left by him.
"Play the trumpet, such a brave warrior, we cannot sit and watch him die in battle." Qi Ce suggested.
Zhao Wu had a serious expression: "We just need to perform our duties, and there is no need to worry about other matters."
Han Qi reminded: "Luan Gu is irritable. If we sit and watch his brother die, we may not be able to explain it."
Zhao Wu's nostrils were facing the sky and snorted: "How can I stop Luanzhen from seeking death? Luanzhen's private withdrawal of troops, resulting in the failure of our battle. After returning to China, he will naturally be punished. Luanzhen is for the honor of the family and seeking a glorious death. If I stop him, the monarch's punishment for the Luan family will be even more serious. My duty is to cover the retreat of the entire army and I will not move. It is reasonable in any theory.
If I save these two people, the Qin army will be in trouble. When I make this big mistake, no one will forgive me. Luan is the culprit, and the punishment they receive will be even more serious. I cannot let Luanzhen die in vain, so I order the entire army to hold on."
While talking, more than one arrow fell to Luan Zhi's face. The shield in Luan Zhi's hand stopped for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, more arrows fell on him and on his chariot.
Seeing this, Fan Yang turned around and ran back, shouting loudly as he ran: "Wuzi save me."
Without Zhao Wu's rescue, the Qin army did not leave the city. Fan Yang ran out of the range of bows and arrows, and no one could threaten his life.
Fan Yang ran back to Zhao Wu's military formation panting. Fan Yang, the old army, actually forgot the ten major crimes of storing the military formation, which was enough to behead him. After his chariot crashed into Zhao Wu's military formation, he rushed Zhao Wu's formation out of a gap. The soldiers along the way did not dare to stop him. The Zhao infantry who could not escape was killed by Fan Yang. He suffered heavy casualties. Behind Fan Yang, his chariot broke out a long ravine.
Without Zhao Wu's instructions, Yurong Pan Dang snorted coldly, and in the blink of an eye a bow appeared on his hand. The bowstrings were as fast as the pipa as the crisp sound of heavy rain. The horses in front of Fan Yang's chariot fell to the ground one after another, and the chariots overturned.
Fan Yang rolled to the ground, still in shock. Han Qi quickly jumped off the chariot and went to support him. Qi Ce hurriedly reorganized the formation, filled the gap that Fan Yang rushed out, and then quietly said in Zhao Wu's ear: "The Lord has finally matured and can consider the problem from the right angle. I am very pleased... Even so, I still suggest that the Lord blow the charge - the Qin army likes to behead him, so we must at least take Luan Jie's body back to ensure the integrity of his body."
Zhao Wu and Qi Ce were discussing in a low voice. Han Qi helped Fan Yang up and blamed him: "The Qin army did not leave the city. You two soldiers wanted to attack a city. Why don't you stop Luanzhen in such a crazy thing?"
Fan Yang gasped violently. He seemed to have not come back to his senses and blurted out: "I invited Luan Zhen to fight. I talked to Luan Zhen and said: We sent troops this time to retaliate against Qin's invasion and our defeat of Li. The army came out but returned in vain. It was a shame for Jin. Both of our brothers served in the army, which is also a great shame for the family!
Luan Zhen was thinking at the time. After listening to my words, he replied: Then let us win back the face of the family and the honor of the country - you and I will sort out the armor and the accompanying warriors, and we will attack the Qin army together..."
Fan Yang took a few breaths and complained: "The people of Qin are too unfair to war etiquette. When we challenged by bicycle, they not only did not leave the camp, but instead hid behind the city wall and shot at us. People can be shameless, but they can't do this in Qin."
Zhao Wu was so happy that he thought to himself: "Actually, I am more shameless than the Qin people. If I could hide behind the wall and shoot, and I would never let you come back alive and complain."
Zhao Wule nodded frequently. Qi Ce thought Zhao Wu agreed to his strategy, so he waved his hand - Zhao Bing sounded the horn of the attack.
Shangjun is a full five divisions. In terms of equipment, Shangjun is the first in Jin State. Jin State is the hegemonic country, and its military equipment is the dominant among the countries.
Among the five large square formations, the left and right wings came out at the same time, but instead of advancing forward, they spread toward the two wings obliquely. Immediately afterwards, the formation of the left and right quadratic formations changed, and countless figures moved forward. Those who moved forward were crossbowmen and their auxiliary soldiers, and those who retreated were the impact troops: the long halberd soldiers.
On the city wall, Qin Junshu looked at the formation change of the Jin army and shook his head gently: "I once defeated Shi Feng's army, and Shi Feng's army was not as smooth and neat as Zhao Wu. The formation change was smooth and neat. I have always heard that the Jin army is famous for its leisure, and now I have experienced the strictness of the Jin army. We were defeated by Zhao Wu twice, which is not a loss."
Ying Song shook his head: "The other army in Jin State is not as strict as this army, because this army is matched by Zhao Wu and Han Qi. The two families are close to each other and exchange their retainers. Only their army has been completely mixed together. For other armies, each little lord leads each army, and the connection of the formation is not as good as the combination of the Zhao family and the Han family."
Shu Changya smiled: "So, this time I saw the top army of Jin. So okay, let them stand outside the city for exhibition, and we sit on the top of the city to watch... So brave! We have shot so many people to death, and he dares to come forward with a chariot."
Ying Song reminded: "Zhao Wuzi came to the army with someone (a single fight), and never lost."
Shu Changya sneered: "Bow and arrow are ready. My Qin army will not fight with others alone. We don't have that military rule."
Zhao Wu's chariot drove slowly, Pan Dang reminded: "It's entered the range of bows and arrows!"
Zhao Wu immediately ordered: "Stop."
Che You Qice reminded with kindness: "The Lord is too far away, and they can't hear the words, so get closer."
Zhao Wu sneered: "I shouted for Fan Yang. Whether the Qin people can hear it depends on me. I only care whether the Qin people can shoot the arrows!"
On the city wall, Shu Changya wondered: "What did he do when he stopped there?... Can our arrows shoot him?"
Several of the best archers in Qin shook their heads gently: "This distance requires Yang Youji and Pan Party to shoot at the opponent. We cannot penetrate Lu Bai at the end of our strength. At this distance, we do not have Yang Youji and Pan Party's strength. If we barely shoot over, the damage will not be caused."
Shu Changya sighed regretfully: "I heard from the soldiers who fled back that Zhao Wuzi defeated us twice, and did not even launch a formal attack. We were wiped out by just using bows and arrows. I wanted Zhao Wuzi to taste the bows and arrows of the Qin people, but I didn't expect him to be so cautious."
Ying Song was a little proud: "Ying Zhao Wu is considered a famous general in the world. Now he is the only one in the world who has returned alive from Yang Youji. He has led the army to fight when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, Ying Zhao Wu has not been defeated so far, and he has destroyed three countries."
Zhao Wu bowed under the city. At this time, the farthest corpse was eight feet away from him, but Zhao Wu looked solemn. He shouted loudly: "Our Jin warriors have proved their efforts. Now their mission has been completed. Please allow us to collect the corpse."
Zhao Wu's words made Shu Changya frightened: "What? The charge just now came to die? The people of Jin are so brave?!"
Zhao Wu's words concealed the fact that Luan Yan violated the military order and charged without authorization. After hearing what he said, Ying Song took a deep breath.
According to what Zhao Wu said, the Jin army's decisive charge was to show Qin: Are you Qin people cruel? You have repeatedly invaded us, we are not afraid of you, we are never afraid of death. Let's send a few people to show you, come on, let us fight a war and see how we seek death?
The army that has never been afraid of death has a strict organization and neat discipline. Moreover, they have a history of dominance for two hundred years. Now this army is crazy. They charge with the general to death and tell the people of Qin: We will never stop until we die today.
By the way, I would like to add that the famous generals of this army were the world's most famous generals. He has never lost his fortune to this day, and three countries have perished under him.
Ying Song couldn't help but ask: "Who did we kill us if we poison? Zhao Wu's eldest son is still young, so he won't follow the army, right?"
Shu Changya shivered: "It's not that coincidental. It's only a few days since then, and the plague hasn't happened yet."
Under the city, Zhao Wu continued to be arrogant and provocative: "Our army hopes to fight with the Qin army, but no matter whether we attack or your army attack, we do not want to trample on the bodies of the warriors. Please allow us to collect the bodies and clean up the battlefield. Today we will fight to the death."
As the saying goes, "The arrogant one is afraid of being stunned, and the stupid one is afraid of being desperate." The Qin army has always been cruel, and the troops of various countries are hesitating and dare not move forward. Now the city has come down and is pretending, the Qin army hesitant to go to war.
Ying Song advised: "I often hear that morale is prosperous in one go, and then it is declining and exhausted. Now that Zhao Bing's heart is in full swing, we should try our best to delay..."
Shu Changya held the city wall and replied immediately: "We already know the courage of your army. Please calmly restrain the body of the warriors. If there is not enough time, we are willing to fight with your army tomorrow."
To be continued...
